Abstract:Abstract. We study path multicoloring games that describe situations in which selfish entities possess communication requests in a multifiber all-optical network. Each player is charged according to the maximum fiber multiplicity that her color (wavelength) choice incurs and the social cost is the maximum player cost. We investigate the price of anarchy of such games and provide two different upper bounds for general graphsnamely the number of wavelengths and the minimum length of a path of maximum disutility,… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
